An account listing payments in drachmas by or to a group of named men, apparently members of a squad under a decadarch, dated Year 2, Pauni 6. It comes from the Arsinoite nome and dates to the 3rd or 4th century AD.
The numbers after the date in the first line and the marginal notes are of unclear meaning; 'pelyx' may be a measure or vessel and 'kerm' probably refers to small change. A decadarch was a leader of a group of ten, possibly soldiers or workmen.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below. It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
